The article backs up your statistics but also backs up my opinion of what has been happening for years.
"Senior police officers have admitted that 'political correctness' and the fear of discussing the issue have meant that race crime against white people goes under-reported. 'The political correctness and reluctance to discuss these things absolutely does play a factor', he said. 'A lot of police officers and other professions feel almost the best thing to do is try and avoid it for fear of being criticised. We probably have all got ourselves into a bit of state about this. "
Mind you I think the application of the law in this country is too soft regardless of creed or colour.
